Just curious, haven't seen much baseball other than the Braves this year, are those big ugly batting helmets we saw last season still being worn by anyone? Or were they scrapped completely? Or made smaller and less obvious?

I hated how those things looked. Last I heard they were gonna be made smaller but I haven't noticed any this year. Am watching Yankees-Mets and don't see any there either.

If they are gone, I'd glad.

Anybody still wearing them?

I saw some of the batboys wearing them during the Subway series telecasts.

Cervelli and Gomez both stopped wearing it this season, but they are mandated in MiLB, except for rehabbing players.

They are the Rawlings S100 just to clarify.
